Tips that save lives: which places in the airplane are the safest
Experienced travelers know which seats to book on an airplane to get more comfort from the flight. However, few people know which seats can not only be comfortable but also save a passenger's life.
What seat should you choose to be sure of your safety? The Daily Mail has the answer.
According to Anthony Brickhouse, an associate professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, there is no such thing as a completely safe seat. However, Anthony said that he personally prefers to choose seats in the back or near the wing of the plane.
He notes that the wing structure is the strongest part of the plane and therefore likely to be able to protect the body in the event of a crash. At the same time, according to Time, the seats in the rear of the plane have the best fatality rate, which is 28%.
Additionally, Brickhouse said it is important to listen to the briefing and heed the advice of flight attendants, as information can vary significantly depending on the type of aircraft. He said, "It's frustrating when I'm flying and looking around, and not many people are paying attention."
